How much vertical exaggeration is there in your renderings?

Posted by: Sean Jan 6 2017, 06:31 PM

None. This is straight from the DTM.

Posted by: scalbers Jan 6 2017, 06:42 PM

Indeed glad you are faithful to the terrain - and besides vertical exaggeration wouldn't be needed anyway!

One thing that might be worth a try sometime is the inclusion of scattering by atmospheric dust, depending on how much in the way of the optical parameters can be included in the rendering software.

Thanks Sean for really advancing things on how we can view Mars. As for DTM suggestions one can consider a helicopter style view following the tracks of Curiosity, Spirit, and Opportunity?

Another one (unless you've done this) would be in Valles Marineris, harking back to a passage from Cosmos where Carl Sagan narrates a fly through animation poetically saying "...careening through the corridors of the Valley of the Mariners"

Amazing how much detail there is in all of these DTMs that Sean is bringing to life. I'm curious about what the brighter material is near some of the higher terrain. Nice to see an atmosphere showing up in the background. I wonder if future plans might also consider the effects of the atmosphere between the observer and the terrain?

Posted by: Sean Jan 15 2017, 03:56 PM

Its on the list Steve. Although given the limited coverage of the area I wonder how much atmos to add.

Posted by: scalbers Jan 15 2017, 04:28 PM

Interesting question Sean. For a ballpark answer I would suggest that we can estimate an overall optical depth tau (~0.5) and dust scale height of 11km. This means the extinction coefficient at elevations near the ground would be 0.5/11km or 4.55 * 10^-5 m^-1 (tapering off exponentially as we go upward). From this both the inscatter and outscatter can be determined in the path between the observer and point on the terrain.

The impact might be subtle in the foreground, though becoming more noticeable for distant features in the background when looking near the sun.

Posted by: Sean Jan 15 2017, 05:05 PM

I understand the addiction. Years back when I was knee deep in the Microsoft Flight Simulator I found that users could add photorealistic scenery to areas and found DEM files from NASA and aerial photography shots from my county and combined them together to make the Phoenix area I was always flying over more realistic. The results were stunning. Suddenly the mountains and riverbeds looked exactly like reality and I began creating 3d buildings and objects, taking photos of their exteriors and wrapping them over the vertices. I spent months adding more and more. It eventually ended up a side business as people convinced me others would buy my work. It never was about the profit though. Was about the creativity it unleashed. A major addiction when it all comes together. Your work is wonderful.

Posted by: Sean Jan 20 2017, 11:30 AM

Thanks for the story Art and given that your compliment means a lot!

I suppose it has something to do with making these inaccessible places tangible in some way, there is a visceral thrill when the elevation data & satellite imagery come together. Suddenly it is a place.

I was quite aggressive culling the DTM borders to conform to the chosen viewing angle.

Lots of work in Photoshop to balance out the jigsaw of exposures.

Each of the 5 DTM's were rendered separately, the foreground render then acted as a guide for conforming the rest to the base Mt Sharp render which is visible in the background crater rim and the upper left of the image. A depth pass was used to introduce atmosphere and soften transitions.

An amazing dataset!

I've had some luck studying these with the route maps and another site where you can zoom into HIRISE (though it is offset a bit): http://curiosityrover.com/rovermap1.htmlI can surmise for Curiosity that it will enter soon at the right edge of Sean's neat Hematite Ridge rendering, about 40-45% of the way between top and bottom.

Posted by: Sean Jan 24 2017, 09:52 PM

You mean Curi, surely?

In the most recent Gigapan you can see Murray Buttes at the bottom center right of the image, tracing the route up toward the natural break in the dune field to the left of Ireson hill you can almost discern a path leading up to Hematite Ridge. In time I will make a version with the notional route.

The Gale Crater movie is perhaps the most awesome rendering of planetary image data I've seen. Thank you! It really brought the places Curiosity is exploring to life, which the overhead images don't.

If you ever have the time and inclination, it would be fascinating if the movie could retrace the Rover's journey.

Thanks vjkane, although to be fair there have been awesome animations using the same data over on Youtube since 2010.

I grabbed a crop of Sean's "Mount Sharp Northwest Flank" (from Gigapan) and roughly marked Curiosity's route up to sol 1589 (green), it's current position (yellow star) and the latest "notional route" from JPL (red). Hopefully it will be helpful. Sean's work has added another dimension to my awe for this mission.Fernando

Posted by: Sean Jan 27 2017, 05:52 PM

Thanks Fernando. The wide field view of Curi's journey is a sight to behold!

So my plan is to image the entire mission zone along with the route so far & notional route, in as big an image as Gigapan will host, I'm not sure what their upper limit is. I think Photoshop will only go to 65k pixels square.

The trick will be to get a good angle without making the quilt-work of DTM's too obvious against the lores mesh of Gale Crater.

Interesting to see such a deep bowl shaped crater at about 0:58 time in the Ladon Valles video. Looks to be consistent with the higher depth/diameter ratios for small craters mentioned in http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2009/pdf/2419.pdf, possibly around 0.3? Intricate terrain overall.

Nice music with Domoni too.

Eagle crater in color (at last)! So much dust covering the lander, it's almost poignant... https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/2017/04/21
